mar 1, 1926 - Erwin Schrodinger

Description:

In 1926, Schrodinger used a mathematical equation to determine the likelihood of where an electron would be when orbiting a nucleus. Instead of being in defined orbits, he stated that an electron would be in a probable area. He used a cloud model to define the probability of where an electron would be. Where the cloud is more dense, it will be more likely to find an electron. Where the cloud is less dense, it will be less likely to find an electron
